Question

I’m using the jQuery Date Picker plugin by Kelvin Luck ( http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/datePicker/v2/demo/ ) and need to do the following, maybe somebody can help me:

On a website for travel insurance I have two date fields, one for a start date and one for an end date. There’s also a third field (a select) that selects plans, each with a different coverage, in a number of days. The idea would be that if you select a plan for, for example, 15 days, and a start date of X, the second date field would be magically populated with a date of X + 15 days.

Thing is, my JavaScript knowledge is not what you would call advanced.

Anybody has some experience with the plugin, or could at least give me some pointers?

Thanks a lot.

$(document).ready(function(){    
    $("#date2").datepicker();  
    $("#date1").datepicker({  
        onSelect: function(){  
            var fecha = $(this).datepicker('getDate');  
            $("#date2").datepicker("setDate", new Date(fecha.getTime()));  
            $("#date2").datepicker("setDate", "+15d");  
        }  
    });  
});  

I guess this is what you need
